We had a great time on the Carnival Sensation for a three night cruise to the Bahamas! We had a family of four staying in one room, and we were able to get a special deal for families.
We thought the size of the ship was just perfect for a a short and fun cruise. We had plenty to do on the day sea day. We hung out by the pool, and in the hot tub, played ping pong, and participated in some of the various events.
What we liked:
We had four people to a cabin. A king sized bed and two flip-open bunks. We had enough room and the cabin was very clean.
We went to Cabbage beach, the public beach on Paradise Island. We rented two chairs and an umbrella.
I would recommend taking a land taxi directly to the beach. We took a water taxi to the island, but then had to walk quite a ways to the beach in the hot weather.
